What is time being called in Russia now?
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] March 28, 2011

March 28, 2011

Now that the clocks have sprung forward, can anyone with a presence in Russia report on whether they are calling current time "daylight" or "summer" or "standard"? Thanks for any light you can shed. (Remember that computer outputs are poor to use for this purpose; they're often based on the time zone database.) --ado

Chile changes the DST change AGAIN
by Glenn Eychaner March 28, 2011

March 28, 2011

The article: http://diario.elmercurio.com/2011/03/28/_portada/_portada/noticias/7565897A… In English: Chile's clocks will go back an hour this year on the 7th of May instead of this Saturday. They will go forward again the 3rd Saturday in August, just as before 1968. This is a pilot plan which will be reevaluated in 2012. Sigh. Thanks, -G. -- Glenn Eychaner (geychaner(a)lco.cl) Telescope Systems Programmer, Las Campanas Observatory

Asia/Irkutsk split
by alexander.ray＠internode.on.net March 28, 2011

March 28, 2011

In the time zone change Russia took this March, Irkutsk Oblast began using Krasnoyarsk Time while Buryatia didn't, so a split of Asia/Irkutsk is in order, creating Asia/UlanUde (?). Additionally, the elves at Wikipedia have discovered that Tomsk Oblast didn't change to Omsk Time at the same time as Novosibirsk Oblast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Russia#Tz_database Source (in Russian) http://newsru.com/russia/01may2002/clock.html

Time zone changes in Russia since 2009
by Wilhelm Müller March 25, 2011

March 25, 2011

Hi, I listened to a radio report today which said that the time change coming Sunday would be the last for Russia. When I looked at the tzdata rules for Russia, I found them a bit out of date. Here are some references: http://en.rian.ru/russia/20110208/162507473.html http://en.rian.ru/russia/20100430/158815883.html http://en.rian.ru/infographics/20091113/156820078.html Wilhelm -- Statisticians do it with 95% confidence. -- **************************************** fixed pitch fonts! ** Wilhelm Müller Herbststraße 66 D-28215 Bremen Germany (o_ muewi(a)acm.org +49-(0)421-169 2525 (o_ (o_ //\ 1024D/2048g 5E6E CF83 B15E C7ED 1A31 (/)_ (/)_ V_/_ F9435BF6 E9F3 F509 FD7B F943 5BF6 © N.Smith
